- stuckinhell 2y agoi'm worried this is the case as well
- huuhee3 2y agoNursing is pretty safe too, simply due to demographics and limitations of robotics.
- malfist 2y agoHave you actually done farming? I grew up on a farm. It's no where close to a safe bet. It's capital intensive, high risk, hard work with low margins. Not at all like stardew.
- djbusby 2y agoPersonal horticulture is fun and rewarding! Grow your own lettuce, tomato, etc. BigAg is HARD WORK
- malfist 2y agoAbsolutely. I love having my own garden and growing food for myself and friends. I give away a ton of food with what I grow. I'll never run a farm. Closest thing I might come to is a florist's greenhouse, but that's probably still a no go
- randomdata 2y agoPresumably he means safe with respect to task consolidation, as per the topic of discussion. Which I would agree is more or less true, but only because farming already went through its consolidation phase. Hence the old saying that goes something like: "A farmer has to be a mechanic, an engineer, a scientist, a veterinarian, a business manager, and an optimist—all in a single day." As a farmer, if you think programming, CI/CD pipeline management, and database administration being consolidated into one job is a line too far... Brace yourself!
- smellybigbelly 2y agoI wonder how you view farming as the safest bet. Farming is quite challenging and the competition will drive any noob into the ground. Not just the knowledge but also capital.
